The 13th annual Pumpkins in the Park run and walk will be held Thursday, Oct. 4, at Port Washington’s Upper Lake Park.

The event, sponsored by the Port Washington-Saukville School District’s health and physical education departments, includes a 5K run/walk as well as a kid’s full dash of about a mile and a half-mile half dash, recommended for children 6 and younger.

Registration and race packet distribution will be held at 4:15 p.m.

Warm ups will be at 5 p.m. followed at 5:15 p.m. with the half and full-dash runs.

Local artist Kathy Waldo is the October artist-in-residence at the Cedarburg Cultural Center.

Waldo is a self-taught artist who also enjoys taking local art classes. She became an artist later in life after realizing one spring morning that she needed to create by painting.

She uses cold wax, oils, acrylics, mixed media and alcohol inks in her work and says her love of learning and testing the limits of each medium has been her muse. Most recently she has focused on alcohol ink paintings.

Singer and songwriter Sarah McQuaid will perform a Wisconsin Singer/Songwriter concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14, at Unitarian Church North in Mequon.

The church is at 13800 N. Port Washington Rd.

McQuaid was taught piano and guitar by her folksinging mother and remembers being inspired by meeting her distant cousin, singer/songwriter/storyteller Gamble Rogers, at her grandmother’s house in Indiana.
